run-command-shell-extension
A GNOME Shell extension allowing the user to run simple commands from the activities overview search.
There is currently a drawback:
- stdout and stderr from the launched application gets sent to the systemd journal. I haven't found a way to disable this, but you can use a script in your $PATH to launch whatever you want and redirect stdout and stderr from inside the script. Easily running scripts from the overview search is actually the main reason I made this.
